Winter Storms Hit
I have no pictures but extrememly embedded memories of our day yesterday. Olivia has not been feeling well with an ear infection so I went home early from church with her so she could take a nap. It had been snowing all morning and was starting to blow. Now, for those who know, our road is AWFUL when it blows. We've been blown in twice so far (make that 3 times now). So as I was on the last leg to our house, I came upon a truck that was "running" three dogs and they kindly pulled over so I could pass. The windshield wipers were not clearing the window well and I could hardly see. Next thing I know, I am in the ditch. Stuck, stuck, stuck. Luckily there was that pickup coming along and they gave us a ride home. Sage came home and used my dad's truck to pull the little car out. As the day wore on, the road became more and more treacherous---blown in with snow drifts and continued snow. However, for some reason we decided to try to make it home aftering eating at my parents. BAD BAD BAD idea! We were bucking drifts left and right and couldn't see worth a darn with all the snow flying over the truck. And, you guessed it, we got stuck AGAIN. Two times in one day for Liv and I. A worker of our landlords came with his nice big tractor and pulled us out to safety and we drove home. I was SOOOOO glad to be in the warm confines of our house. They didn't plow the road until this morning and I was late for work (my one day to work) because they were so late getting out. I am ready for SPRING!
